CAPO: 2nd Fret


## NOTE: ~ = Walk-Down from C to Am ##



[INTRO:] C

[VERSE 1:]
F                 G              C           F
Hear that whistle blowing, there is no Devil in it
                G       C
See the train a-coming, on time to the minute
F              G          C    ~      Am
See the line a-stretching on into the distance
G
See the drawer etching, carrying on his romance


[VERSE 2:]
F             G
Never had the time to stay
       C             F
He was always on the train
                   G
And always found a way to say
         C                      F
"I'll be back, but I don't know when"
         Dm         F
He was no dreamer____


[INTERLUDE:] F    C    G


[VERSE 3:]
F              G         C               F
Take a trip up north and go round by the coast
                G            C
Stop off at the stations and hear the people boast
F             G         C    ~        Am
All about the views and all about the country
G
Work a little, but pay the dues, maybe make a little money


[VERSE 4:]
   F                   G
It took a long time to tire out
       C             F
But he always knew he would
                              G
Said what he'd do if he could live, he had to shout
           C                 F
But said, "I look for what's good
       Dm         F
I am no dreamer____"


[INTERLUDE:] F    C    G    F


[VERSE 5:]
                G                 C               F
I've heard some say that soon the train will run no more
            G                    C
And when it falls to ruin, there is one thing for sure
    F           G                   C           ~        Am      G
The car will be standing there when grass grows over the station

Waiting for some missing songs for conversation


[VERSE 6:]
      F            G
There are not many left like him
   C             F
He must be near the last
                     G
He does not like the future
            C                    F
Still talks surreally about the past
       Dm        F
He is a dreamer_______
